Surrender the Script

There’s this simplicity that when we encounter Jesus, our lives become different. We may not understand it and it might not look the same for each of us, but our lives becomes different.

Just like the story of the man born blind, before he met Jesus and hoped in Him, he was living in darkness unable to see. After his encounter there had been healing and he was finally able to see. Things changed.

We know that there’s an absolute vulnerability and struggle with physical blindness and it is similar to the vulnerability and struggles that we have in the desires we can’t give ourselves.

That is why we need to receive this gift of acceptance and surrender for us be comfortable in being uncomfortable.

This episode is the fourth part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups’s Lenten Companion, a beginning of a journey of surrender. An invitation to make space for the Lord, ask Jesus for help with the crosses we carry and to trust and hope, not for outcomes but in Him.
